The Year of the Cannibals
1970 · Movie · 95 min. · Italy
Set in the city of Milan, where a fascist government leaves the bodies of captured rebels on the streets, it is about Antigone, who wants to bury her dead brother. The character of Tiresias, a zombie-like Pierre Clementi who is about as expressive as the corpses we see lying around during the whole film, speaks an extra-galactic language and likes to eat fish. Antigone and Tiresias spend much time taking away some of the bodies, placing them in caves, and giving them bread and fishes.
